Looks like you had a pretty successful first privy dig. I'm looking to secure some permissions around here, hopefully.

Congrats!! Cant wait to see your bloomfield druggist cleaned up. Must have been such a thrill digging that quantity of glass. Nice to see some keepers come out.

Hey,...Good job. (a lot better results than we've been having lately..) Way to go!

Looks like you had a great time! Does that whiskey bottle ( 2nd from the right, back row) still have a lable on it or am I seeing things?

The masonry on this thing was superb. Tom was blown away by how perfect the big rocks on the bottom were... Of course, they were also really heavy! The wall is pretty much seamless. I'm glad the walls were stone, it made probing that much easier.

I'm sure there are more bottles left in the pit. Unfortunately, there was a ton of big rocks on the top that would make digging impossible. I have to figure most of them were the same 1910 junk I was pulling out. The good thing about the greenies is that they're all blown... And they're embossed, which is cool. The labeled one is very nice, you'll all be amazed I think...

I have no idea how all these bottles got there. They were sitting on top of the ash layer, mixed in with big rocks, and mostly exposed to the open air... It was like the homeowner brewed beer or something, then quit and stacked every one of his bottles in the privy when they filled it in. I can't explain the presence of the spring water bottles, I wonder why they were there...

Maybe it had someting to do with prohibition or something to do with temperence? Just a wild guess, because it almost seems like they were stashing them?...
